In early 1975, Queen’s career was taking off. They’d notched up a trio of hits in the UK with Seven Seas Of Rhye, Killer Queen and Now I’m Here, while the previous year’s Sheer Heart Attack album reached No.4 in the British charts.
America was catching up too. Killer Queen and Sheer Heart Attack had both gone Top 20 in the US, while the band had arrived Stateside at the start of 1975 for their first headlining tour.
